Crispy on the outside, soft and peach-filled inside—these homemade peach fritters are the ultimate summer indulgence and come together fast with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

For the fritters:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

pinch nutmeg (optional)

½ cup milk

1 large egg

1 tsp oil (optional, aids batter texture)

1 cup diced fresh peaches (about 2 peaches), peeled

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

36 Tbsp peach juice (from mashed peach), or milk/water

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, and oil. Combine with dry ingredients until just blended.

Gently fold in diced peaches.

Heat 3–4″ of oil to 350–375 °F. Drop ¼‑cup portions of batter into hot oil; fry 2–4 minutes, turning to brown evenly.

Drain fritters on paper towels or a wire rack.

For the glaze: press mashed peach through a strainer and whisk juice with powdered sugar until smooth.

Drizzle glaze over warm fritters or dust with powdered sugar.

 

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady and avoid overcrowding to ensure even frying.

Canned peaches can be used in place of fresh (reserve the juice for the glaze).

Try adding ground ginger or use a vanilla glaze for variation.
